Changing Attitude

A young man went to an abbot from the Sceta monastery, wanting to

follow a spiritual path.

For one whole year, give a coin to anyone who provokes you, said the abbot.

For twelve months the young man gave a coin away whenever someone

provoked him. At the end of a year, he returned to the abbot, to find out his next task.

Go into town and fetch me food.

As soon as the young man left, the abbot disguised himself as a beggar and -

taking a shortcut he knew - went to the gates of the town. When the young man

approached, he began to insult him.

How marvelous! - said the young man to the so-called beggar.

- For a whole year I had to pay everyone who provoked me, and now I can be

provoked for free, without having to spend a thing!

Upon hearing this, the abbot removed his disguise.

- Whoever is capable of not minding what others say, is a man on the path to

wisdom. You no longer take insults seriously; therefore you are ready for the next

step.
